Police: Man Arrested In Attempted Rape Of 16-Year-Old

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — Police say they arrested a man who allegedly tried to rape a 16-year-old girl on a Metro Transit bus.

According to Minneapolis Police, a man identified as Dominique Darrough was arrested Sunday near the light rail station at East 46th Street. Metro Transit Police responded to the area on the report of a “criminal sexual conduct involving inappropriate language” with a woman. Darrough was located and apprehended trying to board a nearby bus.

In an previous incident on Friday, a 16-year-old told police that Darrough followed her off a bus in south Minneapolis, tackled her in an alley and exposed himself before abandoning the area.

Darrough now faces charges of two counts of felony attempted sexual conduct in connection to Friday’s incident. He was also charged with fifth-degree criminal sexual conduct, a gross misdemeanor, in connection to Sunday’s incident.

Actually you would get your benefits cut off if you were doing nothing; welfare isn’t ran the way it used to be. I was on all assistance when I had my son while going to school…I chose to take care of him rather than putting him in daycare…taxpayers would have helped with that then as well…point is I used it to get on my feet, I am not working full-time and going to school full-time, going to graduate in March and will be off of it altogether…its intentions are for people to use as a bridge to a better life. They require household report forms and information being validated with your school and employere…if you are not working or not in school you are required to spend 30-40 hours per week searching for a job…maybe you should search for the other half of your brain.

I had lost my job that took very good care of me my husband and our four children soon after loosing my job he lost his. We had no choice but to sign up for public assistance. I want you to know that the money is not free we do have to work very hard for it. Also rent didn’t go down we still have to pay market rent which is much higher then what we received each month. Plus it is a well known fact that only 1% of the taxes you pay go to this program which includes social security as well. At that time I would have given anything to be working for minimum wage because what I had received amounted to well under minimum wage and still had to come up with $850 in rent.

Lightrail security is a joke. I have yet to ride without seeing hoodlums walking up and down aisles, harrassing people. People are much safer walking or finding their own transportation via bike or car than riding anything Metro Transit.

Uhhmm. I recently had to ride it from dt to MOA everyday for a few months and never been or seen anyone harassed. Saw some teenagers steal a bike once but it was a nice bike and dude shouldn’t have left it unattended.

I rode it from the stop after MOA to DT every day for 2 years and only once saw harassment – aimed at myself (small female) – and problem was solved by me moving away and sitting by a larger man (stranger to me) — and my hours might have begun at rush hour but as a CPA, I wasn’t riding it back until late at night. The worst I saw was a guy pass out drunk and cause a delay when they had to call an ambulance.

Lets get this straight – posters above are prolly from at most 2 dudes. Likely acne scarred 98# men-boys. They sit behind a kb all day long looking at porn ’cause having a lady around —won’t happen. Women, even a crack head, take a looksy and run. Ugly
Now they do read a lot – the big fringe benefit they get from work as nobody wants to look at them to see what they do. So they play pocket pleasure and get paid. Gotta give ’em credit though – they pimp the system too. They just call it a better way to do so
